Fix What Matters With Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) – Seemant Sehgal – BH25 #3

Live from BlackHat 2025 in Las Vegas, cybersecurity host Jackie McGuire sits down with Seemant Sehgal, founder of BreachLock, to unpack one of the most pressing challenges facing SOC teams today: alert fatigue—and its even more dangerous cousin, vulnerability fatigue.

In this must-watch conversation, Seemant reveals how his groundbreaking approach, Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), flips the script on traditional defense-heavy security strategies. Instead of drowning in 10,000+ “critical” alerts, AEV pinpoints what actually matters—using Generative AI to map realistic attack paths, visualize kill chains, and identify the exact vulnerabilities that put an organization’s crown jewels at risk.

From his days leading cybersecurity at a major global bank to pioneering near real-time CVE validation, Seemant shares insights on scaling offensive security, improving executive buy-in, and balancing automation with human expertise. Whether you’re a CISO, SOC analyst, red teamer, or security enthusiast, this interview delivers actionable strategies to fight fatigue, prioritize risks, and protect high-value assets.

Key topics covered: The truth about alert fatigue & why it’s crippling SOC efficiency How AI-driven offensive security changes the game Visualizing kill chains to drive faster remediation Why fixing “what matters” beats fixing “everything” The future of AI trust, transparency, and control in cybersecurity
